Hobbits, hobbits, hobbits. I think about, write about, live and breathe hobbits. I've been writing LOTR fanfiction since May 2002, and am thrilled we have places to share our stories, and to discover other authors' imaginative explorations of the wonderful world of Middle-earth.

Short, gentle ficlets about the hobbits’ possible experiences in the West. Characters include Frodo, Bilbo, Sam, Gandalf, Elrond, Erestor, and others. NEW! "The Kings' Blessings" The hobbits' first birthday in the West brings several unexpected – and happy – surprises.

A series of short, unrelated ficlets originally posted on LiveJournal. Most are very gentle and healing hurt/comfort for various characters. NEW: Aragorn is tended in Rivendell by four very determined healers.

The birth of Sam and Rosie’s tenth child triggers a strong reaction in Sam, but Pippin wonders if there might be something going on more unusual than anyone realizes. Characters: Sam, Merry, Pippin, Frodo, Gandalf

King Elessar’s visit to his northern capital brings a joyous reunion with the hobbits, and attracts an unexpected delegation from a nearly-forgotten people. An AU "Quarantined" sequel, in which Frodo did not sail West.

The Morgul knife blade used at Weathertop to wound Frodo was enspelled by the Nazgûl, as was the hilt that Aragorn carried with him to Rivendell. At the Ford of Bruinen, the wraith-sorcerer has one chance to activate the spell woven into the hilt, and influence its bearer. Aragorn h/c, somewhat AU, very hobbity (of course!). Characters include Glorfindel, Elrond, Gandalf, Arwen.

Like Frodo and Bilbo, Sam is honored as he travels to the Grey Havens... but by some unexpected folk. And like Frodo and Bilbo, Sam sails West... but in an unexpected way. An AU (but canon-possible) look at how the Last of the Ring-bearers might have left Middle-earth. A gentle tale, including quite a few special guests. EPILOGUE: Legolas and Gimli arrive in the West

Aragorn, Frodo, and Bilbo discuss a rare celestial event. This ficlet is part of my "Quarantined"-verse AU, and references my stories "Reflections of the Past" and "A Hobbity Halloween". Written for the LJ lotr_community "Believe It or Not" challenge.

Aragorn encounters Frodo in Elrond's library, and is surprised to learn what the hobbit is researching. A gentle Frodo - Aragorn friendship ficlet, written for the Waymeet "Five Things" challenge on Livejournal.

Frodo is safe in Rivendell, or is he? When one of the Nazgûl makes a last attempt to reach him, Sam, Legolas, and Gimli are also caught in his snare... and Elrond’s powers are tested to the limit. Book-verse AU, h/c, and plenty of hobbityness (of course). The canon timeline has been altered to allow Aragorn to play a major role.

Aragorn falls ill at Cormallen, which Éomer feels must be kept a secret. But there is more to this illness than meets the eye, as Frodo discovers. My usual h/cccc, very hobbity, mostly book verse. Characters include Elladan and Elrohir.

A Hobbity Halloween ficlet. Four-year-old Frodo is visiting Bag End with his parents just before All Hallow's Eve. Warnings for fluff and movie-verse Frodo description. Characters are Bilbo, Frodo, and Primula.

Wingfics, stories in which one or more characters have wings, were a brief-but-fun craze in LOTR fanfiction several years ago. Here are two teensy, related scenes. Part One takes place in Moria, and Part Two at Cormallen.

After the Coronation, Pippin falls ill. Aragorn’s visit to the young hobbit’s sickroom results in a conversation in which Pippin learns something new about the King, and realizes a very special bond they share.

Seven teensy ficlets about the lovable and unquenchable Pippin Took. These ficlets range from baby!Pip to post-Quest and back again, and include Frodo, Merry, Gandalf, Legolas, and Sam. NEW! "Pippin's Secret", written for SlightlyTookish's birthday.

Arwen told Frodo "you may pass into the West, until all your wounds and weariness are healed" (ROTK, ‘Many Partings’). Once Frodo reaches Tol Eressëa, what wounds will be healed? How? And what do the Elves of the Lonely Isle think about the first mortals ever to live there?
Chapter 7 includes Elwing, Celebrimbor, Elrond, Frodo, Bilbo, Galadriel, and Gandalf.

Frodo, Merry, Pippin, and Sam observe a popular game played in Minas Tirith. Assuming that Men possess the same natural abilities as Hobbits, they draw their own conclusions about the players – and the rules of the game. Written for the Waymeet "The Sporting Life" challenge on Livejournal.

Frodo takes Merry and Pippin camping, and introduces Pippin to the magic that just might be all around them -- for those willing to see, and believe. Frodo is 28, Merry is 14, and Pippin is 6. A fluffy pre-Quest cousinfic, written for Dreamflower.

Frodo, Sam, and Pippin recovered at Cormallen from late March to early April; surely the springtime weather in Ithilien wasn't blissfully perfect every day. Perhaps there was a day or two of rain, wind, colder-than-usual air... what was done to ensure that the hobbit heroes were kept warm, dry, and comfortable?
Characters include Pippin, Aragorn, Gimli, Frodo, Merry, Legolas, Gandalf, Sam, and Beregond.

In honor of March 25, I'm posting several *very* short ficlets (100-400 words each). In each, honor and respect are given to one or more of our hobbits. SCENE ONE: Minas Tirith. SCENE TWO: Rivendell. SCENE THREE: Gondor.

A visit to the Tower of Ecthelion in Minas Tirith compels Frodo to return to the Tower of Cirith Ungol, accompanied by the King and the remaining members of the Fellowship. While Frodo struggles to recover lost or unclear memories, many of his companions find themselves making discoveries they did not expect. This story is based in book-verse, with bits of movie-verse interwoven at the author’s discretion. Angst/drama, but (being me) there's enough hobbity lightness to balance things out.

On Tol Eressëa, Frodo discovers the joys and frustrations of 'parenthood' -- as he learns the loving yet mischievous ways of an ever-growing family of geese. Featuring Frodo, Sam, and Gandalf. Short and fluffy.

This is my AU imagining of the Fellowship's journey down the Anduin. The story occurs during the same ten days as in FOTR, but with a few side-adventures and revelations along the way. A bit of FrodoHealing, a bit of PippinHealing, some tricksy Saruman, Fellowship bonding, riddles, teasing, danger, and a deeper look into how the Ring slowly went to work on the Steward's noble son.

Here's a teensy tiny Yule ficlet! This is from my "Quarantined" universe, and occurs after the events in "Force of Nature" -- and assumes that Aragorn has now met Bilbo, young Frodo, Merry, Sam, and wee Pip. Love and fluff!

The hobbits are dismayed to learn that something very important had been omitted from Aragorn and Arwen's wedding, so they work feverishly to remedy the situation. A short, hobbity ficlet set in Minas Tirith.

A teensy bit o' hobbity Halloween fluff from the "Quarantined" universe, featuring Aragorn, Frodo, and wee!Pippin. Aragorn visits Bag End just in time for Halloween.
Warning: Ummm, did I mention the fluff?

A “Quarantined” sequel: Aragorn finds that he needs assistance from Frodo, young Merry, and Scamp to locate a Ranger lost in the Old Forest. But the rescue has an unexpected outcome -- the trees have a message for Aragorn, and a strange accident makes Frodo the only one who can deliver it. Characters also include Bilbo and Halbarad.

Mortals are permitted to sail West -- on one condition. An unusual -- but very happy -- reunion in the West for Frodo, Bilbo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin. Characters include Celebrían, Gandalf, Elrond, and Galadriel. Very AU, very joyous.

Nine people (two Men, one Dwarf, one wizard, one Elf, and four hobbits) have crash landed on a seemingly deserted -- and possibly mysterious -- island. The Fellowship of the Ring meet, bond, and face danger together in a brand-new setting. This story was inspired by Season One of “Lost”, but no knowledge of the show is required.
